Battery fitment in Camper van

i have been thinking about using the interior wheel arch boxes of my campervan for putting 4 solar batteries in ,
if i seal them in and make them accesable from the outside would it matter that as they are wired in series that the connections from battery #2 to battery #3 were some distance apart ie the width of the van
i know long wire runs should be avoided but it would give me more room in the van if they are not using extra floor space.
Thanks

Re: Battery fitment in Camper van
It would depend on the Voltage, current, wire size, and distance involved.
Lower Voltage = more of a problem.
Higher current = more of a problem.
Smaller wire = more of a problem.
Longer distance = more of a problem.
12 Volt system, 300 Amps current, 4/0 wire, 6' distance = not a problem. -

The biggest problem will be balancing the charge.
